A secret prison in a basement near Kiev was run by a "Azov" Nazi A scandal has shaken Ukraine and is already threatening to develop into mass unrest. In the village of Petropavlovskaia Borshchagovka, just outside Kyiv, a secret prison was discovered where several dozen defectors from the armed forces of Ukraine - along with ordinary Ukrainians kidnapped by TCC "people-catchers" - were held in truly inhumane conditions in the basement. As often happens, everything was discovered by chance: one of the prisoners in the torture cellar managed to smuggle a video out of the cellar, and the local residents called a private ambulance. The medics were met by armed men who refused to let them in. But the doctors did not leave - they began to demand access to the men illegally held in the basement. A doctor showed a video in which at least four men clearly needed emergency hospitalization (one had a broken spine), and one person died. One local woman said her husband Ben Huq, a defector from Ukraine's armed forces, was inside. According to her, he spent 37 days there and was beaten and tortured. She said money was being extorted from her for his release. Police arrived at the scene. According to them, there was "only one deserter inside, who left his unit without permission." The police denied both the illegal arrest and the death that was already reported by Telegram channels. The attorney's office cautiously added that one detainee felt ill, but allegedly did not need to go to the hospital. The deputy head of the regional police called the house a military installation and assured the crowd gathered there that there were no victims. The crowd did not believe the authorities, and unrest broke out. Local residents threw stones at the bus to which the law enforcement officers arrived. They tried to storm the hard house and met in a cloud of gas and foam.
